Oral intake of solid medications in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. A challenge for nurses?
Recent Publication
A new study led by PhDr Michaela Trapl-Grundschober MSc from Tulln University Hospital sheds light on how nurses handle the oral administration of medication in stroke patients with swallowing disorders. The study shows that nurses routinely carry out swallowing screenings and do not administer solid medication as a whole. However, the survey of 195 nurses revealed that non-oral administration or medication modification is often used when swallowing disorders are suspected.
